The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has announced that tens of thousands of people will be protected from homelessness as a result of a £316 million funding boost.
The Homelessness Prevention Grant will support households in England who are homeless or at risk of losing their home. Councils will use the funding to help them find a new home, access support for unexpected evictions and secure temporary accommodation where needed.
Following the landmark Domestic Abuse Act, which ensures councils give people who find themselves in this situation a ‘priority need’ for assistance, the funding includes an additional £5.8 million to support people forced into homelessness by domestic abuse.
Minister for Rough Sleeping Eddie Hughes said: “I have seen first-hand the devastation of those who come face to face with homelessness, and my heart goes out to anyone in this situation. The support we are announcing today is going directly to communities that need it most. It will help thousands of people across England, with councils able to prevent homelessness before it occurs and put a roof over the heads of those who have lost their homes.”
The Homelessness Prevention Grant, available for 2022/23, is on top of the recently-announced £66 million to provide rough sleepers with safe and warm accommodation and drug and alcohol treatment services this winter, and £65 million support package for vulnerable renters struggling due to the impact of the pandemic.
